AMA, AHA, ANA call for rescinding executive order on diversity training

CHICAGO — The American Medical Association (AMA) today joined with the American Hospital Association (AHA) and American Nurse Association (ANA) in calling for the Trump administration to rescind Executive Order 13950, Combating Race and Sex Stereotyping.  In a letter delivered today to the White House, the three leading health care organizations noted the executive order prohibiting federal agencies from conducting and funding trainings that promote racial reconciliation is “counterproductive to addressing racism” and would “stifle attempts at open, honest discussion of these issues in the public and private sectors.”
